Matches – 131
Runs – 3533
Average – 33.01
2) Dinesh Karthik – The right-handed batsman has a penchant for the sweep, reverse sweep that has helped his cause against spinners. He is in good form for the upcoming match.

Runs – 6274
Average – 27.39
Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Shubhman Gill – The right-handed batsman was drafted into the team due to his attacking techniques and his appetite for big runs. He is a wise pick for the next match. He made 29 runs in his last match.
Matches – 66
Runs – 1598
Average – 31.33
2) Prithvi Shaw – With a low grip and a heavily bottom-handed approach, Shaw has a god-given talent to time the cricket ball, as well as a fantastic bat-swing. He won a berth on the squad because of his excellent stroke play, quick footwork, and consistency. He made 60 runs in his last match.
Matches – 66
Runs – 1661
Average – 25.16
3) Eoin Morgan – He’s developed a reputation as a creative and free-striking middle-order batsman, particularly in shorter formats. A dangerous middle-order batsman on his day and a more than the astute player, Eoin is a vital cog in KKR’s cricket fortunes.
Matches – 3455
Runs – 737474
Average – 26.62
4) Shikhar Dhawan – Dhawan, a natural left-handed opener, has been a key part of Delhi’s line-up for years and now leads an unbeatable top-order. Due to his side-on stance and minimal trigger movement, he is strong on the off-side with his cuts and drives.
Matches – 302
Runs – 8739
Average – 32.48
Top 4 Bowler Picks
1) Anrich Nortje – Anrich is a fast runner who has a reputation for tearing up the track. He’s tall and quick, and he constantly appears to be in the midst of nowhere, moving quickly. Because of his preference for bowling yorkers, he is the quintessential white-ball cricketer.
Matches – 59
Wickets – 72
Economy – 7.36
2) Varun Chakravarthy – He has significantly rebuilt his action and added additional elements to his bowling. He has proved to be an asset to his team so far. He took two wickets in his last match
Matches – 32
Wickets – 36
Economy – 22.66
3) Kagiso Rabada – Rabada can swing the ball conventionally, but he loves to utilise scrambled seam deliveries to give the impression that the ball is off the wicket. He’s the closest thing we have to a ‘perfect pairing.’
Matches – 129
Wickets – 170
Economy – 7.89
4) Lockie Ferguson – Ferguson is a real fast bowler with the ability to hit incredibly high speeds from a large frame. He has everything it takes to be a match-winner for his team.

Matches – 381
Runs – 2765
Average – 15.10
Wickets – 423
